The above article. which we reproduce
because OF its general interest. is very sig
nificant. The public believes that rheu-
maiism is an effect of diseased blood. this
disease being caused by uric acid or kidney
poison. Enough Of this is developed daily
to kill several men, and if it is not removed
by the kidneys as fast as formed, il grad
ually ruins the health.
This fact is scientific demonstration
II doctors do not admit it, il is probably
because they do not wish TO attract atten-
ton To the menace deranged kidneys offers
to the general health, since they have ne
authorized specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense Of
treating the eftecfs-the real seat Of the
disease was the kidneys. Senator Sittig.
Of Illinois, whose vote elected Logan sena-
tot after four months OF balloting, tells us
that Logan often complained 20 him Of
great distress in bis kidneys. Disease OF
the kidneys always produces rheumatism,
and besides that, il causes paralysis. apo
plexy, impotency, stomach and blood dis
orders, brain troubles, female complaints
and countless other diseases which would
almost never develop if the blood WAS Kept
free from nric acid or kidney poison.
These facts the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen for very evident
reasons, will not publicly acknowledge
them, lest, perehanee, some proprietary med
icine like Warner safe cure, which is sold
by all dealers and is now admitted TO be the
only scientific specific. will get the benefit.
Fie on sneh bigotry. 1t has been an
thoritatively stated time and again that
there can be 10 real sound health il there
is any false action OF the kidneys. lnsur-
anee companies refuse millions Of risks on
this ground alone, hence it is that there Is
such universal popularity giyento the great
preparation named popularity THAT Is
based upon intrinsic merit
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit thsy have no power,
too often results very disastrously, but OF
what use to the victim is experience gained
by fatal disaster
How much better ii is to be guided by
an unprecedented public opinion in such
matters.
Had Logan been 50 guided, he might
have been spared many years.
